Would you prefer if your Facebook profile was deleted after you die?
Or would you prefer if it lived on as a memorial? When YouGov asked British people their thoughts on this issue, the majority of older Internet users wanted their Facebook pages deleted. This was especially evident among users over 60 – 71% of them wanted their profiles deleted. Among younger users, it was more mixed. While 38% of 18-24 year olds wanted their page frozen, 23% wanted legacy contact.
This chart shows the percentage of people in the UK giving their thoughts on what should happen to their Facebook page after they die.
